We hear all about humans and climate change. But how will the other creatures cope? We presumed many would go extinct, due to excess heat. But new science shows similar land-based species have the same heat tolerance, no matter the latitude where they live. Less true for ocean creatures. Intriguing interview with Simon Fraser University scientists Jennifer Sunday and Nick Dulvy. From Radio Ecoshock Show 110615 14 minutes.
